Remember, Rocketlab lied to local iwi in order to secure the launch pad at Mahia

I'd be very happy if RocketLab left

The acres of flags in the RocketLab 'private business' workshop really bothered me.

Desirable: the NZ domestic right wing lobby

Probable: rocketlab and us defence???

Possible: water and nitrates and coverups

Unlikely but funny: Labour Party exposed

Dark horse: ATLAS network

RocketLab is headquartered in California. They’ve already left. Years ago.

Putting on my scratched record to play what should be plainly obvious to everyone now. Rocketlab are just a part of the US war machine.

Do you mean the American company RocketLab?
June 22, 2026 at 3:01 AM
sorry if unclear, but its been the particular kind of rocketlab defender that will pipe up whenever ANY space/satellite stuff is mentioned

we also had confirmation of military contracts for RocketLab recently, alongside the new Space Force rhetoric out of the US

LAUNCH at 1531 UTC Jun 11 of the QPS-SAR-11 radar satellite for iQPS (Japan) by RocketLab Electron from Mahia

I have an interview with Rocketlab tomorrow. It would be nice to stay involved in the space community. But I am so sad for the damage that has been done.

Not a particular defender of rocketlab but this seems unrelated to them?
September 24, 2026 at 8:57 AM
but i kept being told that this wasn't real, NZ weren't actually involved, it was always the "US part of the business" etc etc etc by supporters of RocketLab

This is a very significant shift in NZ defense policy, and certainly doesn't lend itself to independence

This would effectively be a death sentence for every dedicated US Space Company that isn't ULA, Blue Origin or SpaceX. Stoke, RocketLab, Intuitive Machines and countless others are absolutely cornholed

Ok NZ Media, time to ask RocketLab if they've received this letter because you know for shit sure they "do business" with the US Government
1/ The Trump Administration is seeking to force foreign companies worldwide to ban diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes within their firms if they want to do business with the US government. It's an aggressive expansion of its anti-DEI crusade. ⬇️
